I flew 9000 miles away to pick up my new car!

[@hextasy000]

as an "old" guy it's weird but cool to see you guys so open about your feelings towards each other. definitely a different world than it was 30 years ago.

[@craveboost24]

36 years old, but I'm the same way as Jimmy and everyone is in the video, hugs and tell the ones you care about that you love them, from having both of my parents pass away suddenly and tragically, I never say hi or goodbye without a hug or love ya cause you never kno when the last time your gonna see someone unfortunately.

[@MediocreTCG]

Maaaaan, my weed guy and I tell each other that we love each other every time we part. If you don't kiss your homies goodnight, who will? No but seriously, totally different world than the static ass mentality of the 90s I grew up in. But I'm with it.

[@isaacnewton7940]

I'm 36 and normal here in NZ ĺol Jimmy fits in lol

[@nathensantiago3785]

Beyond happy this is the top comment. I had to pause the airport part to type this. I love seeing when male friends tell eachother they love them. You know it's a different type of bond when it's said daily.

[@SIMMONSx22xPOINTx0H]

Great top comment. Always gotta tell the homies you love em.

[@alexkosubovich9997]

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen Jimmy’s camera go through the airport x-ray, that’s how you know it’s a classic Jimmy travel video 😂 Great video man!🔥🔥

[@KiwiBassJunkie]

Be careful Jimmy. We are glad to have you here in NZ but we're just starting to have our second tropical storm/cyclone, the last one two weeks ago caused massive floods everywhere, including Auckland Airport where you arrived. I hope it doesn't ruin your trip.

[@dzzope]

Lucozade is the original energy drink! 1927, invented as energy supplement for the sick in Newcastle, England. I know Jimmy is super busy guy but I really wish he'd take like a week on these trips and see some of the country. Same for Ireland, Trip down to cork, do the ring of kerry, up to the Burren, Galway, Check out Donegal bit of the North and back to dublin.. Maybe have some cars&coffee type meets or time for rally event or similar.. Would be class but there is always the old hitch of time.. /edit, Also, I was kinda hoping the kiwi's would give you something uglier than what Dave and Co gave you for Ireland 😂

[@WhuDhat]

I don't think he's that busy, but your right

Where I'm from, laurels, particularly C33s are the most widely used cars for drifting. They are dope asf and look sick with the correct mods. Underrated car, same as the A31 cefiros.
